| 0:00.0 | Are you someone who doesn't take life too seriously? Do you sometimes find that a shot of whiskey |
| 0:08.1 | isn't only deserved but needed? If you said yes to either of those, welcome to the Whiskey and Lace |
| 0:13.2 | podcast, where we have honest chats with everyday people, shit shows, and all. I'm your host, Erica |
| 0:18.8 | Althus, and I'm here to empower you to be the best version of |
| 0:22.1 | yourself and perhaps share in a shout of whiskey. Now pour yourself a glass of wine and let's go. |
| 0:29.9 | Hi, everyone. Today, as I'm recording this podcast, we are at a beach house in Cayucas and it's |
| 0:35.9 | Thanksgiving Day. I'm sitting alongside one of my 17 nephews, Jack Simpson. I met Jack when he was just two years old. And I'll never forget thinking this is one of the smartest kids I've ever met. He wanted to be a paleontologist when he was four. He was reading Harry Potter on his own by the age of seven and had a more formal |
| 0:54.9 | vocabulary than I did at such a young age. He's now 24 years old and has grown into such a |
| 1:01.0 | solid young man and still so incredibly smart. He's one of Mark's sisters, Cherie's, her son, |
| 1:06.9 | and my brother-in-law, Mark Simpson, who I interviewed on the first season of my podcast, and you'll likely notice so many similarities between Jack and his dad. |
| 1:15.9 | Like the term, the apple doesn't fall from the tree will probably be very off of us. |
| 1:20.1 | So welcome to the podcast, Jack. |
| 1:22.4 | Thank you, Erica. I'm so happy to be here. |
| 1:24.2 | I feel like you're setting me up with some big shoes to fill. |
| 1:27.4 | Oh, yeah. I mean, |
| 1:28.3 | following your dad, you know, but I feel like you're a really good storyteller like he is, |
| 1:31.8 | so I don't think we're going to have any issues here. Yeah, I guess I learned a little bit from him. |
| 1:36.5 | I don't think I hold a candle to that guy, but it's a tough act to follow. Oh, you'll do great. So you grew up in Mill Valley, California, which is just north of San |
| 1:45.0 | Francisco, and you're the oldest of three boys. So tell us a little bit about what your childhood was |
| 1:49.7 | like and what it's like being the oldest brother and being the son of your mom and dad. |
| 1:53.8 | I had such a fun childhood. I really liked growing up. I felt like my parents gave me the ability |
| 1:58.8 | to really be free and express myself however I wanted to. |
